Knee Brace, Which One Is Good???

[Toecutter]

Dose anyone have any experience or opinions/reviews on Knee braces.

I have been looking at the ASTERISK and the EVS Web braces. So far i am leaning towards the Asterisk.

I have a set of Asterisk braces and love them. They have saved me from serious injury a couple of times already and as far as I'm concerned were well worth the money, even if I would have had paid full price. If you want to try them on just let me know and I'll bring them by...
I got mine for around $150 used and spent another $150 to have them factory refurbed, $600 braces for $300, pretty good deal. If you can hold out for a set of used ones at a good price, thats what I would suggest.

I have the asterisks. The only problem i had with them were the blisters i was getting. The sleeves made them worse. I actually found some chaffing gel for women that i use now that helps. So I use the chaffing gel with no sleeves. As far a protection, they are great. Follow this link to read more.

I have a EVS on my "good" knee and a fitted CTI on my bad 1. There is absolutly no comparison which is better-the CTI. It fit sbeeter,supports better and doesn't hurt as much after the ride.
I got my insurance to pay for it also.

I was looking at the CTi....looks great but way expensive....I go see my ortho this week, maybe I can get my insurance to pay for it.........If not i think i will go with the Astreik


thanks all

Toecutter,
I have a set of XL (I think) Asteriks that I'd be willing to sell.
